How to do Almost Invisible Applique by Machine - Quilting Tips & Techniques 058

[@keertimarathe1948]

Watching from India 9 years after the video was uploaded!! As you rightly said, this opens up so many possibilities..... thank you so much for your clear instructions...

[@heatherbott9909]

I appreciate your teaching. You don't waste time. You are clear and your camera work is good. I like your re-cap at the end, too. Well done and helpful. Thank you.

[@lisamcvilly403]

I have watched a number of appliqué videos and this was the best - it was clear and taught me how broad I can be in the appliqué process. Thank you so much!

[@cathynuytten798]

I always know if I need a how to, I come to The Gourmet Quilter. You always have the best techniques and I am successful because you are a stellar teacher! Thank you a million times for all you do for the sewing community! You are well respected,

[@maryannsws]

WOW - I have always had trouble with applique that I just don't do it. I just throw my hands up and say, "Forget it." I was half way through your video, hit pause, turned on my sewing machine, :) and I have that stitch !!! I did it. I did it. I did it. Now to calm down and watch the last half of your video.

[@corkygal]

You are a gem to listen to! You make your tutorials so easy to understand and follow along. Thank you for your wonderful tutorials! ❤️❤️❤️

[@JudyHart1]

So glad you've done this video. I seem to be allergic (ha, ha) to needle and thread but like the idea of applique. This is the answer. Thanks.

[@fayealexander7126]

I really enjoyed this lesson and wish i could record these lessons for future use. You can use a used fabric softener sheet as a backing for your applique and you wont have to spend any additional money on soft backing. it works well.

[@deidreking4472]

Oh what a great idea. 😊 Thank you

[@yvonnemoretti7646]

great way to recycle the used dryer sheets. And it will smell pleasantly at the same time.

[@JesusisKing222]

I will try dryer sheets! I was wondering what to even call non-fusible interfacing(?) to shop for it!

[@enedinaolivares5756]

Thank you for this!!!

[@caroleridley1]

I don't know if anyone ever told you that you are a gem to listen to. I am learning so much from you. All your videos are inspiring.

[@frostytheron4526]

Agreed.

Agreed!

[@ginaluster9207]

My thanks to your camera person for actually zooming in on the pieces of the project

[@rochelleorme7170]

Thank you for your specific instructions, close viewing on the video camera, and wonderful examples. This is exactly what I was looking for! EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!

[@monaquilts4679]

I will be teaching an applique class next month to beginners…I love applique; mostly fusible. While looking for articles to draw information from I found your video…I so enjoyed watching you do this turn applique method. I don’t do much of it but definitely you have inspired me to do a project. I am now a subscriber. Thank you.

[@sharonmessersmith1322]

I found this video to be the very help I needed to understand applique. I usually use an iron on method that I then sew. This sewn applique gives more of a 3d look. I can't wait to try. Very clear instructions. Thank you.

[@janicebeverdam427]

I just loved this technique. I didn't realize reducing the stitch could make such a difference. Also one of those stitches I have never used for applique, and it is a great alternative. Thanks again Susan, you are the best!

[@bonniestalhiem8025]

Once again you've blown me away with your simplified way of doing things... Thank you so much!

[@kaybaertlein541]

Applique to me has been a bit scary until I watched this tutorial. Not only did you greatly simplify the process but you explained it very well. Thank you.

[@TheWonderPieceCollection]

This is an excellent, well thought out and and well explained appliqué technique video. Thank you so much!

[@jeanharville2306]

I enjoy all your videos very much. I will be doing my first applique on a quilt this week. And I will try this method. Thanks for taking the time to give us this demo.

[@anitawilliams7646]

You are a real teacher-not just a nice lady who sews well. I recognize good instruction. Thank uo.

[@CrystalKoenigsupermotivator]

Fabulous demonstration. I never would have thought to do it that way! So explanatory !

[@jesshothersall]

This is brilliant, my machine is straight stitch only and this video helps as I now know how to get the shapes hemmed inside, I was thinking I would have to try and push the hems under as I went, the vilene method is so easy

[@DianebelongstoChrist]

This is just what I needed! Thank you for your excellent demonstration.

[@sandyhearth8249]

I have been inspired by you! I love this technique! I’m a new quilter/sewist and I can see where this will be helpful in many ways. Thank you so very much. You are a wonderful instructor!

[@snugbear2]

You are an awesome instructor! Thank you for doing your videos. I have learned a lot from you.

[@GourmetQuilter]

How exciting to be doing your first applique! Hope it goes well, thanks for watching.

[@findacure4mom]

I love the look of needle turn applique but wanted to use a machine to do it.I have looked all over for a good video that shows that technique and finally found one!!!! This will help me very much.Great job(:

[@lindac6919]

I very much appreciate that you draw a picture of the stitch, as well as naming it. Many thanks.

[@yvonneautie6165]

Terrific video with superb camera shots. Thank you.

[@elizabethjury2930]

Wow, applique is the one thing that i have always avoided. Now your method is just brilliant. Easy to follow step by step and straight forward and your recap is just the thing. 🌻

[@sydneyvonflue7647]

A great tutorial. I was lucky to have taken one of your classes and you were a wonderful teacher. Enjoyed your husband also. Sydney VonFlue

[@MATHMARILU]

OMG. That is the best technique I have seen so far. It's so brilliant in it's simplicity. Thank you very, very much for sharing.

[@sradefarras]

Great method from a great teacher. Thank you!

[@susanclack3055]

Thank you for this video. I now know the mistakes I've made in the past and look forward to my next appliqué project with much less stress!

[@eileenabrams2513]

Brilliant demo. Excellent photography

[@kathleenmayhorne3183]

Thank-you. Beautifully done. I agree wholeheartedly on ending off as you go. The thought of hundreds of ends to run in on a multi-coloured crocheted rug, did it for me. I could never see me finishing all that afterwards. You have such diversity in your tasty treats, and the tips you show, that I have not heard of before can be game-changing, you are a prolific worker almost relentless at finishing things. Your 2020 achievements were mind boggling. So, so, well done.

[@mrsgesquivel]

Thanks for this video, I can't wait to start a new applique project. You have inspired me.

[@sewnsew4fun]

I'm just starting a new appliqué project and this was so helpful! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@maryjaneocl]

Thank you for your great hints and tips on Applique. Hugs xx

[@donnafilteau1050]

Great method. Didn't think of making them in this easier way.

[@fayeharding2912]

Thanks Susan, I like the use of Vilene as I have started a leaf applique design and the turning in the points of the small leaves has been a bit frustrating to get them 'perfect' Most helpful and well explained.

[@elizabethwhittaker-william6598]

Thank you very much, this has been a difficult decision for me on what stitch to use on my block as I have never machine applicqued before. Your technique has made it very easy for me. Thank you again, Elizabeth

[@ladypenelope99]

There are some excellent tips in this video. Really useful. 👍🏻Thank you, Gourmet Quilter!

[@IdratherbeinHobbiton]

Thank you so much for this video! I've always wondered what I'd use the blind hem stitch for but now I know exactly when and how to use it!

[@MsBeachLizard]

@Faye Alexander Thank you for the awesome idea of a used dryer sheet instead of using an expensive interfacing. What a great tip. -BeachLizard

[@tinacampbell8867]

Ms BeachLizard Brilliant!!!

[@busybee1952]

Great tutorial. Thank you! I really like your sewing machine!

[@sixtylady]

Thank you for this very helpful video, I am going to try a cup cake applique. I have the same sewing machine and like the idea of trying the blind hem stitch ,

[@darchel70]

Thank you for this very informative video. I am very new to the appliqué world and this video by far, was exactly what I needed.

[@GourmetQuilter]

Thanks for watching, hope it works for you.

[@deboradant10]

Very clear and easy to follow demonstration! I will be using this technique.

[@CelticBearWoman]

Thank you! Just what I was looking for-- a machine applique that looks pretty, close to the original, and is not time consuming! :)

[@yvonnemoretti7646]

Thank you for teaching this class. I was afraid to try it but you make it look easy. I will give it a try.

[@warialdasue]

thankyou for explaining in a straight forward way without rambling on for half the lesson like some do ...

[@MsBeachLizard]

@The GourmetQuilter Thank you for this great video on applique. It's a great help. I'm saving it to my favorites. -BeachLizard

[@karenbarnak8396]

I love your videos and watch them often. You have a great teaching voice and I always learn something when I watch you. 👶

[@janetcozens4623]

Such very clear instructions you make it sew lol easy

[@nanlee3980]

Thank you, your a great instructor!

[@MsTiLaJ]

You have some fantastic tutorials. This is very helpful.

[@phyllisphyllis6273]

I never knew. Now I do. Thankyou so much. This is a game changer x ❤

[@canuck33]

Thanks for response. For some reason I hate to make plastic templates. Did it once years ago and never had use for them again. I really don't appliqué but think it's about time I do a project now and then. Am working on a Christmas tablerunner and used the stitch wichery fusible. However, wanted to see what alternatives they were without all that turning under and time consuming methods, but found you and am encouraged to use your method instead of fusing. thank you again. G'day.

[@rondabergeron4414]

This is a great idea. I can think of so many uses. I'm going to use this for my centers for Dresden's thanks so much for sharing.

[@salsysafrano]

What a neat job that makes. Thanks for sharing your tips and techniques.

[@lesleychapple4424]

Thank you so much for all your very informative tutorials. I have learnt so much.

[@sharonott7513]

Great video - very helpful with all the options.

[@quilterstitch]

So helpful. I am new to applique, and think your technique will give me more success. Thank you.

[@rebeccaestrada744]

thank-you so much. I'm learning so much. you have a sweet soul and nice voice and teaching style

[@catharinawilliams1828]

Agree, she is lovely and kind

[@angelabrowning802]

That is the best video I have ever watched. Thank you for sharing from Scotland uk

[@laihwatan2119]

Thanks alot very kind of you for sharing to teach, i am a beginner and will practice till i am confidence that it looks acceptable then would like to sew the appliques onto my organiser as a gift to my niece. Very clearly and easy to follow which one could easily remembered. I am going to purchase the necessary requirement for this project. I have found your teaching are interesting to learn.

[@aimster1970]

I'm a new quilter and have been wanting to try some applique but was not thrilled over the hand stitching. I'll definitely try this! Suggestion: it would be better to see the stitching from your side of the machine.

[@janiemelgoza166]

Thanks you, enjoyed the tutorial and very helpful.

[@ellenwilliams8577]

Great video thank you for showing this way.

[@lorrainewilliams7896]

Excellent video. I am working on something with meandering vines. Lots of very similar leaves. Yes, this helps A LOT.

[@chrisblaszczyk3512]

Extremely helpful. I'm not afraid to try this now.

[@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts]

Thank you for this very helpful video 😀

[@lilaalabed2527]

Very nice and instructional video. Thank you for sharing.

[@GourmetQuilter]

Hi, it would be just as easy to trace the design, without making a template. I was making a quilt with a repeat design and so I found it easier to make a template, which I won't lose!

[@GourmetQuilter]

Thanks for that info, things aren't always called the same thing everywhere! Thanks for watching.

[@jameelaalfares6005]

Thank you very much I love every project you make 🌺💕🌹

[@Samuelgeorgephotofilm]

thank you for such a clear demo and a very useful technique. If you don't have Vilene than perhaps a very thin cotton fabric would do as a backing?

[@vernegarlock4169]

Very nicely done video. Thank you.

[@gerribarnes1613]

Thank you so much for you wonderful tutorial. Clear instructions and great camera work make your instructions so easy to follow.

[@joythompson5001]

So nice to listen to and no crazy nails actually see the work!

[@lynnmack3905]

I was happy to see that I'm not the only one who doesn't like the crazy, long nails. I won't even watch a video if I can see them in the screenshot. I don't get why anyone would want to handicap their self.

[@glutenfreegoodness]

This is so very helpful. I'm making my son a BB8 costume for Halloween and this is just what I needed to know!

[@tatybrender56]

you have open my eyes to applique. thank you 🌹

[@geethimanathunga8421]

Thank you, nicely explained and neatly done, hope to watch more techniques.

[@leighh5435]

[@gingerbreadlace3977]

This was wonderful. Thank you so much. This is so easy.

[@marisarobson2922]

Brilliant! thanks for sharing

[@Catwomanmn]

This was so helpful! I have a sampler quilt with 30's replica fabric I've been working on for a few years and the whole thing has applique on each block. I started one block with fusible and didn't like it. This technique will help me get back to this and do it so it will be an heirloom. Thank you for showing this! I wish I had a cameraman for my videos!

[@GourmetQuilter]

Thanks for watching, so pleased it was helpful, look forward to seeing what you are doing.

[@pegasusquilts]

I like to do a stitching sample on a scrap to be sure I know exactly where my presser foot should go along the edge of the applique, and try out different stitch lengths and widths to select the one I prefer. This is especially valuable with a machine which has blind hem stitch but not buttonhole stitch.. it's also a good time to test what thread color looks best. The US generic term for your interfacing is ",non-woven sew-in" or "non-woven non- fusible". Excellent video, perfectly paced. I have used this technique in the past but you have given me two new tips: using extra fine thread and your tie-off method.

[@annetteernst5359]

Beautiful! Thank you so much!

[@reverendlynda8787]

Thank you. I have been looking for the right stitches for a large applique quilt that needs invisible stitching.

[@GourmetQuilter]

So many different ways of doing things! Thanks for watching

[@iniarodriguez4898]

I am so inspired by you! After watching your video, mi first video on quilting; I want to continue watching all your videos and start quilting! Thank you!
